What did you wear to the interview of your current job?

[tzhu07]

Hoodie, shorts (below knees), and flip-flops.

The interview was at HTC's corporate office in Bellevue, WA.



YMMV

 

[maflynn]

It depends on the company.

I wore a suit.

Crikey.

Well, different strokes…….and so on.

It depends on the company.

I wore a suit.

As did I. Personally, I would always wear either a pantsuit, or a smart jacket and tailored trousers.

And I agree, that it depends on the company, the culture, the context and the setting.

I went to an interview on Friday wearing a blue button up shirt, red tie, dark brown trousers, dark brown loafers. "Business casual" I would say. I got offered the job.

 

[mobilehaathi]

Dark seersucker blazer, solid purple Oxford shirt, dark blue denim pants, black leather belt, black leather shoes...

 

[Gutwrench]

It didn't matter. My interviews were telephonic.

If they were in person, I would have worn:

winter - sweater with a jacket
summer - dress shirt, no tie with a jacket

 

[smallcoffee]

Hired sans interview

 

[Jschultz]

Full suit, necktie include. Gotta look the part when you're slumming it in a F500 cubicle.

 

[Ray Brady]

I was told you're supposed to dress for the job you want, not the job you have. I wore my Starfleet uniform for six months straight, but I'm still working in a cubicle.

 

[yg17]

Suit - but dress code at my job is jeans and a nice shirt.

 

[heehee]

Suit and tie.

 

[Aspasia]

Hoodie, shorts (below knees), and flip-flops.

Were you hired?

 

[A.Goldberg]

Suit and tie in most cases.

At the minimum dress shirt, tie, khakis, and sport coat.

 

[jeremysteele]

Interview? What interview?

 

[AustinIllini]

Suit and tie, yet the jacket was quickly dispatched because Austin is really friggin hot in June.

 

[Rass]

Last was black slacks, white shirt, tie and grey woollen jumper. I got the job, but I was dressed down compared to other interviews where I would wear a suit.

 

[Meister]

Don't ever wear your birthday suit. They don't like that.

 

[Rass]

Don't ever wear your birthday suit. They don't like that.

Guess it depends on the job you are applying for

 

[Apple fanboy]

Always wear a suit. Better to be over dressed than under dressed.

 

[snorkelman]

didnt interview for current job - popped in to lend them a hand with something one day and still there 8 years on

Even when I do telephone interviews, - and my last two positions came about as a result of telephone interviews - I always wear either a suit, or tailored jacket and trousers and black shoes; for some reason, that seems to work better for me.

Brilliant.

Lovely story, and great to know that sometimes things can work out with a different approach.

 

[roadbloc]

Shirt and black trousers. I always go in a shirt.

I'll play along.

I am of course retired now.

But for my first and only employment, well lets just say that my father knew the CEO and all the board members.

There was no interview, just a long liquid dinner 1970's style, with the CEO.

Those were the days.

"Long, liquid lunches", of myth and legend, masked in the mists of the dawn of time? I remember hearing tell of such things, in tones of whispered awe.

Have you seen HTC’s financials?
